I really liked the world, I like where this is going, but it didn’t have that 5 star feeling to it just yet. I think the next 2 books are going to destroy me. 

I absolutely love the shamanism, I love the Pantheon she has created, and I’m obsessed with how Rin will stop at nothing to get what she wants, no matter the cost. I wish we got more time at the college itself just because I love seeing how it operated.
